@Danza: 500+ and you are done? Dude, that's a beginner's hut. But as long as he's coming up with a replacement (laterns) I'm not particularlly worried. It's not as if this isn't an ALPHA game. ^_^

@acidrain69: Can't win them all, so why play?

@The Lab: They do have 'standalone' packs appearently:

@Lex Steers: The description at Costco actually specifies, it's food for one, for a year. They sell a four person "family" pack for about $3k. Apparently, the single person pack is on sale ($200 off).

@Dogen: If you live in the city where they have to bury the dead 'above ground' due to the water levels, I'm guessing you'd already know to keep the important stuff in the attic.

@82300sd001: Gotcha covered!

@Top_failure: Someone forgets to maintain the walls keeping the Ocean from pouring into your city, and they break during a hurricane. The poor response time of the federal government leaves you and your family and possibly some neighbors stranded for a month (1 years supply for one person equals 1 month supply for 12).

@t('-'t): Minecraft, how I wish you came with a pre-built Costco.

@LaziestManOnMars: Where would you find space to store all those cans in NYC anyway? I was under the impression that you all lived in closet sized apartments unless you were rich and rented empty warehouses to convert to trendy studio apartments.

@MifuneT: A year's worth of food at $800 is less than a dollar a day?

@PatrickTulskie: I think the key is to ensure you have a leg (either smack dab in the middle or one on either side of the joint) to support it. If you don't then all the weight is being distributed into the screws holding the bracing, and unless the material is extremely resistant to sideways forces it'll start to…

@MrGOH: As the child of a retired USAF officer, I take exception to the idea that he doesn't count as a 'troop'.

As reported by Charlie Brooker.

@Prismatist steers with his right foot: I asked the same question on their site and apparently in Europe there is something called a EuroPallet. These are considered 'high quality' compared to your normal "use and discard" pallet, to the point where you have to be certified to make or repair one and rather than tossed…

@hagren: Chief, I'm talking about the whole spectrum. I've been playing BioWare since Baldur's Gate.

@Lord_Data ∞: I'd make sure your laptop is compatible in that manner. The last two I've own had 'removable' OD's which had non-standard connectors. In addition, compatible or not, you'll need to come up with a way to plug the hole the OD left open in the plastic. Other than that, it should work and if my current…

Please be careful, regardless of what instruction material you find, when you remove your hard drive.

@AgamemnonV2: Perhaps not everyone, but I am.

@hagren: Nah, you mistake my point. I'm not pissed at them for making a cheaper "GOTY" edition.

I've been playing too much Minecraft. That looked exactly like how I'd picture an office looking in game...
